據(jù)烴加工網(wǎng)3月9日報道，近日，沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司（SABIC）與Coolbrook簽署了一項(xiàng)協(xié)議，以評估Coolbrook的Roto Dynamic Reactor(RDR)技術(shù)，以支持脫碳乙烯生產(chǎn)。

沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司致力于實(shí)現(xiàn)其既定的脫碳目標(biāo)——到2030年減排20%，到2050年實(shí)現(xiàn)碳中和——并支持客戶實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的脫碳目標(biāo)。此次合作是沙特基礎(chǔ)工業(yè)公司眾多積極項(xiàng)目之一，旨在減少并最終消除制造設(shè)施的二氧化碳排放，并為客戶的能源轉(zhuǎn)型之旅提供支持。一個非常有前景的選擇是蒸汽裂解工廠的電氣化，與可再生能源的使用相結(jié)合，有可能將與乙烯和丙烯生產(chǎn)相關(guān)的范圍1和2排放減少90%以上。

SABIC Ventures總經(jīng)理Aruna Subramanian表示，這重申了SABIC承諾到2050年通過蒸汽裂解爐電氣化等多種途徑實(shí)現(xiàn)碳中和。與Coolbrook的RDR技術(shù)等外部創(chuàng)新的合作和支持，證明了SABIC有興趣推動我們的行業(yè)和世界向前發(fā)展。

除了推進(jìn)近期可用電氣化技術(shù)的商業(yè)化，SABIC通過其全球企業(yè)風(fēng)險投資部門SABIC Ventures，繼續(xù)激勵行業(yè)生態(tài)系統(tǒng)，并投資于一系列早期技術(shù)，期望其中一些技術(shù)一旦完全開發(fā)，可以商業(yè)化，以支持SABIC和更廣泛的石化行業(yè)向碳中和過渡。SABIC認(rèn)為，合作和伙伴關(guān)系是實(shí)現(xiàn)其雄心勃勃的氣候目標(biāo)的關(guān)鍵，符合行業(yè)的增長愿望。

Coolbrook首席執(zhí)行官Joonas Rauramo表示，“SABIC是石油化工領(lǐng)域的全球領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，我們已經(jīng)在荷蘭建立了密切的合作關(guān)系，兩家公司在荷蘭都有著強(qiáng)大的影響力。我們相信，我們攜手合作，可以對減少乙烯生產(chǎn)對當(dāng)?shù)睾腿虻臍夂蛴绊懏a(chǎn)生重大影響”。

SABIC已經(jīng)與合作伙伴巴斯夫（BASF）和林德（Linde）合作開發(fā)和商業(yè)化技術(shù)解決方案，以應(yīng)對與電動蒸汽裂解相關(guān)的挑戰(zhàn)，并預(yù)計將于2023年晚些時候投產(chǎn)世界上第一個商業(yè)示范規(guī)模的電動裂解設(shè)施。此外，SABIC還選擇了采用SABIC- basf - linde技術(shù)的裂解爐電氣化，將其納入其第一個采用者計劃，其目標(biāo)是在未來幾年內(nèi)在其一個制造設(shè)施中運(yùn)行一個完全商業(yè)規(guī)模的電裂解爐。

SABIC setting its sights on the electrification of ethylene production

SABIC has signed an agreement with Coolbrook to assess Coolbrook’s Roto Dynamic Reactor (RDR) technology in support of decarbonizing ethylene production.

SABIC is committed to achieving its stated decarbonization ambitions – 20% reduction by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050 – and in supporting customers in achieving their own decarbonization ambitions. This new collaboration is one of SABIC’s many active programs aimed at reducing, and ultimately eliminating, the CO2 emissions from manufacturing facilities as well as supporting customers on their energy transition journeys. One very promising option is the electrification of steam cracking plants, which in conjunction with the use of renewable power has the potential to reduce the Scope 1 and 2 emissions linked with ethylene and propylene production by over 90%.

Aruna Subramanian, Managing Director, SABIC Ventures, said, “This reaffirms SABIC’s commitment to becoming carbon neutral by 2050 through, among many pathways, the electrification of steam crackers. Collaborations with, and support of external innovations, such as Coolbrook’s RDR technology, is a testament to SABIC’s interest in driving our industry and world forward.”

In addition to pressing ahead with the commercialization of near term available electrification technology, SABIC, via SABIC Ventures, its global corporate venturing arm, continues to stimulate the industry ecosystem and invest in a pipeline of early stage technologies with the expectation that some of these, once fully developed, can be commercialized to support SABIC’s and the wider petrochemicals industry’s transition towards carbon neutrality. SABIC believes collaboration and partnership are key to achieving its ambitious climate targets in line with the industry’s growth aspirations.

Joonas Rauramo, CEO of Coolbrook, said: “SABIC is a global leader in petrochemicals, and we have already established a close cooperation relationship in The Netherlands, where both companies have a strong presence. We are confident that together we can have a significant impact on reducing the climate impact from ethylene production here and globally.”

SABIC is already working with partners BASF and Linde to develop and commercialize technological solutions to the challenges associated with electrically powered steam cracking and anticipates the commissioning of the world’s-first commercial-demonstration scale electrically powered cracking facility later in 2023. Furthermore, SABIC has selected cracker electrification with the SABIC-BASF-Linde technology for inclusion in its 1st Adopter Program with the ambition for having a full commercial-scale electrical cracking furnace in operation at one of its manufacturing facilities within the next several years.
